TUESDAY 33
Sennheiser taking a different
spin at BroadcastAsia2018
In an attempt to address every audio
challenge, Sennheiser is offering its
digital wireless solutions, such as the
Digital 6000 and Digital 9000 series,
which has played a pivotal role in the
success of several live events, includ-
ing the Eurovision Song Contest,
Grammy Awards and Brit Awards.
Garry Tjhin, product manager, pro
audio solutions, Sennheiser, explains:
“With the changing frequency land-
scape around the region, it results in
lesser spectrum for wireless users to
operate in. Sennheiser Digital 6000
system addresses this rapid change
in the frequency landscape with its
intermodulation-free capabilities. The
system is spectral-efficient, easy to
manage, and gives users more time
to focus on other aspects of a live
production.”
Apart from its exhibition at booth
5D3-01 at NXTAsia, which is held
at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and
Convention Centre, Sennheiser is also
partnering four industry affiliates at
BroadcastAsia2018 at the Suntec
Singapore International Convention
and Exhibition Centre. The four
affiliates are: A&L Systems at booth
6G3-01, Avid at booth 4T3-01,
XN3 at booth 6E4-05, and Zoom at
booth 6C1-01.
Particularly at the Avid booth,
visitors can see how Avid’s Venue
digital mixing console software
enhances live sound mixing, when
paired with the Digital 6000 series.
Fur thermore, visitors can also
explore the integration of Avid’s
Pro Tools pod with an audio expe-
rience of the KH 80 DSP, a studio
monitor with digital signal process-
ing from Neumann, a subsidiary of
Sennheiser.
The KH 80 DSP is designed for
recording, mixing and mastering
in project, music, broadcasting and
post-production studios. With the
upcoming Neumann Control soft-
ware scheduled for release later this
year, the KH 80 DSP two-w ay near-
field studio monitor will be able to
fully calibrate itself to its immediate
surroundings, says Sennheiser.
Sennheiser has also augmented
its AMBEO portfolio, which sees the
company teaming up with several
brands to offer a complete virtu-
al reality (VR) production expe-
rience within the framework of
Sennheiser’s AMBEO for VR partner-
ship programme. This programme
has already seen a collaboration
with Zoom, which has resulted in
the compatibility of Zoom’s F8 and
F4 multi-track field recorders with
Sennheiser’s AMBEO VR Mic.
The Zoom F8 and F4 offers
gain-linking capability, allowing
creators to adjust the gain on all four
capsules of the Sennheiser AMBEO
VR Mic “evenly and simultaneously”
with one knob, thus helping users
monitor and adjust audio levels when
recording in the field.
Tjhin concludes: “AMBEO VR Mic,
a product that we have developed
in line with our vision, is another key
highlight at BroadcastAsia2018. As a
brand leader in 3D immersive audio
technology, we’ve seen an increase
in adoption of immersive content
creation.
“There is a big demand now in
utilising spatial audio to complement
the storytelling process. Sennheiser
has also partnered with several hard-
ware manufacturers, such as Sound

Devices and Zoom, to incorporate
ambisonics recording features in their
field mixers.”
